That is Pepper, my cocker waiting for the mailman.
Why worry? By then the Musk guy will have conquered space supply chain transport and discovered new deposits of raw materials in the Orion belt. Tesla will sport super solar panels able to charge through the thickest cloud cover, when hidden under 2…
So, will the simple inclusion of bitcoin in retirement accounts serve as the legitimizer of bitcoin itself? Will Fidelity finally be the one to explain the external factors that determine the bitcoin's price and volatility? Is bitcoin contrarian? He…
That table reminds me of a bowling alley. Maybe it's for that point in time when heads will roll.
Roll down the table to take out the one bowling pin left sitting at the other end?
As a schoolgirl, policies against assignation of leaders made more sense to me than they do today. Why should civilians, men, women and children that just want to make it through the day and remain relatively secure, and young soldiers, who want to …
Has global warming brought on some sort of widespread genetic pattern just waiting for the proper environmental triggers or is the species labelled "human" just not viable?
So, what is the title of the post reporting that everyone with personal business with the US government is now subject to bankruptcy as soon as the Putin pundits get finished with the data stolen from ID.me, a universal data base of most US citizens…
Karl Rove comes to mind. It is important when making a President that you make sure they have little experience and reputation to recommend them for the job. It is also important that when the voters go home, you and your cronies (e.g. PNAC during B…
As an ex-DOD employee, I have always wondered how many Americans depend on war or potential of war to survive. I tend to conclude/wonder - almost all Americans. This is because of the amount of the economy derived from war dollars. In today's world …
What gives cryto its value? What gives it increases or decreases in value? When I buy at $1000 and sell at $2000 without visible productivity or profit other than new buyers, doesn't the money come from new buyers? Is it the world's strangest Ponzi …
@bee - Not really important and I just realized that my comment disrupts the discussion started by the OP but didn't IBM gradually become a lagging follower and not a leading innovator?
Do big techs like these provide the innovation necessary for leaps to future tech or are they too invested in their lead in todays aging tech with its lucrative ads and subscriptions?
I keep getting money building up in my bank account. I finally gave up on trying to figure out a "good" place to move it and last month decided just to move it to VTMFX for no good or bad reason at all other than it is after tax money. Maybe it is n…
I've had complaints about condition-on-arrival get accepted in the reviews section. I didn't mention the company but did mention the damage. Many people do this and attach pictures of the damage.
Also send in a complaint about the company and their…
And, when they spend that money on things enabling candidates in the next election, it is found money; found in the American public's tax revenue and, ultimately, the United State's debt obligations. Unlike water, money flows uphill and, seemingly, …
I see taking exception to the Studzinski-Royko anti-gov malarkey has been deleted. What's the thinking behind this?
Mine too.

The biggest reason why mutual funds are important...MFO would have to change its name. Maybe to ETFO?
It survived the change from FA(Fund Alarm) to MFO.
Funny thing about that - I still say Fund Alarm when telling my husband something I read at MFO…
Miracle water made me a millionaire. That's all the "investment" Jesus requires - a tiny plastic bag of miracle water. (and a postal worker to deliver it all)
Spectacular. Last time I visited Disney Land only two security guard were killed by the tourists and those two got up to be killed another day. Disney kids cannot begin to compete with the Capitol tourists on 1/6.
We have some very sick people get…
@bee Since you are on the subject of value, what non-psychological, non-casino, non-mythical tangible product, service or utility gives bitcoin its value? I just don't get it. Yes, still after all this time don't have a clear coherent explanation fo…
The base will cheer it justified by the Congressional Black Caucus. Interesting times if they pull off a black supremacy analogy that obscures the black justice agenda.
@davidmoran - All I meant was that until a worker's wage catches up to the inflation the worker will be "stuck" at a lower purchasing power. The article didn't say inflation would go down, it said the pace of increase would go down.
Future inflation comment from whitehouse.gov link rise modestly due to the three temporary factors we discuss above, and to fade back to a lower pace
Pace means rate, so the key is the "rise". If the rise leaves workers behind, however good a lower…
Obviously the Christian God sends plagues to race select and preserve the balance of white men in positions of wealth and/or power. The dead were called back to God or the other guy. Why fight it if you think you are being aided in your preeminence …
Yes, absolutely. Those forty-three Republicans sold their souls to keep their jobs. Not many of them could find honest employment elsewhere.
I thought about this yesterday when I heard the inevitable and saw my Southern raised family lament the wast…
